Featured Destinations

California

Share tee times with celebrities, bigwigs and old pros. Enjoy the stunning Pacific views from the coastal courses such as world-famous Pebble Beach, or head to the So Cal mountains where clubs like La Quinta and Rustic Canyon sport their own rugged beauty.

Hawaii

Sure, there are plenty of ocean-side golf resorts in warm and sunny climes. But how many of them also offer snow-tipped mountains and natural lava beds? You'll find amazing and varied courses in the Hawaiian islands, from the dazzling cliffs at The Challenge at Manele in Lanai to the world-class championship courses at Kauai's Princeville Resort.

Arizona

Amid the cactus and rocky desert vistas of Arizona, you'll find some of the country's loveliest golf resorts and courses. But you knew that. Give your handicap a run for the money at the award-winning Troon North Golf Club in Scottsdale, or take your mulligan at nearby We-Ko-Pa and watch the sunset paint the mountains.

Northeast

Just outside the Big Apple, the terrain turns golfy at Bethpage State Park and Pound Ridge Golf Club. Also above par: The rustic surroundings of the Links at Lighthouse Sound in Ocean City, Maryland, and Turning Stone -- one of the many courses along the scenic Shenandoah Valley.

South

Anyone who's played throughout the South will tell you, the region has much more to offer than just Augusta. In fact, you'll find a variety of golf courses and resorts, each dripping with Southern flavor -- from the heritage of Pinehurst, North Carolina, to the classic beauty of Florida and Hilton Head Island.

Midwest

Between the prairies and pastures you'll find surprising courses such as Wisconsin's Celtic-inspired Whistling Straits, Michigan's Arcadia Bluffs, or one of Minnesota's majestic, pine-lined fairways. Or swing further south and check out some of the fantastic clubs nestled in the Branson and Ozarks areas of Missouri.

West

Whether your tastes run to mountains, plains, deserts or oceans, you're going to find a good place to tee off out West. If you're thinking Vegas, check out courses such as Shadow Creek, Cascata or Reflection Bay. Or trade your snow boots for golf cleats at year-round resorts like Red Sky Ranch at Vail, Colorado.

Mexico

It's tried and true around the globe: If there's a beautiful beach, there's going to be a stunning golf course nearby. So if you're heading off to Cancun or Cabo, toss the clubs in with the swimsuit. Take a break from the surf at Cabo de Sol and Fiesta Americana Grand at Cabo, or the Mayan-flavored Moon Palace Golf Resort in Cancun.

Caribbean

From Aruba to the Virgin Islands, the Caribbean is a gem for golf vacations, and ocean views are par for the course. But throughout the region, you'll also find all kinds of different course designs that will challenge any golfer, no matter his or her handicap.

United Kingdom

Make a pilgrimage to where it all began. Bust out the houndstooth plaids and play ancient courses where sheep keep the fairway trimmed. Beyond St. Andrews in Scotland, find many other historic and eccentric courses throughout the British Isles.
